Ch. 24 ⭐⭐

Rajveer sat at the end of the bed, his hands covering his face. Naina sat beside him, wringing her hands nervously. Rajveer was speechless. He couldn't believe what his cadets had been doing for the past six months behind his back. He started recalling all the suspicious incidents involving his cadets and how they had swiftly covered up their actions with easy smiles. More than anything, he was deeply touched. He hadn't realized he mattered so much to his Super Six that they risked their young lives just to keep him safe. Tears started gathering in his eyes from the overwhelming emotions.

"Go and call the rest of your team," he whispered to Naina.

Nodding obediently, she ran out and hurried toward her group of friends. Soon, she returned with the other five cadets. The cadets entered the room, their expressions a mix of worry and determination. Rajveer looked up, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. The sight of them, standing together, filled him with pride and a profound sense of responsibility.

Rajveer stood up, his eyes still glistening with unshed tears. "Do you all realize what you've been doing?" he asked, his voice a mix of sternness and emotion. "What were you thinking?"

The cadets exchanged nervous glances before Yudi stepped forward, speaking for the group. "Sir, we couldn't just stand by and do nothing. We had to do something to protect you."

"We were thinking about you, sir," Alekh replied quietly. "We couldn't stand the thought of losing you like we lost Naveen sir."

"Those men were still a threat. We couldn't just let them go." Naina insisted.

Rajveer took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions. "I'm deeply moved by your loyalty and dedication. But this isn't how we handle things. We work as a team, we follow protocols, and we trust each other. What you did was dangerous and reckless."

Huda, always the bold one, spoke up next. "Sir, we understand. But we couldn't risk coming to you and putting you in more danger. We thought we could handle it ourselves."

Rajveer shook his head, his expression softening. "I appreciate your intentions, but you should have trusted me. We could have faced this together. I'm proud of your bravery, but we need to do things the right way. I need you to promise me something," he said, his voice firm. "No more secrets. No more taking matters into your own hands. We work together from now on. As a team."

Naina stepped closer, her eyes filled with regret and determination. "We're sorry, Rajveer. We promise to work together from now on."

Rajveer nodded, pulling Naina and the rest of the Super Six into a group hug. "Just promise me you'll never take such risks alone again. We're a team, and we face everything together."

The cadets nodded in unison, their faces showing a mix of relief and resolve. Rajveer finally smiled, feeling a renewed sense of unity and purpose. "Now, let's figure out how to fix this mess and make sure we handle things the right way from now on."

Over the next half hour, the Super Six explained to Rajveer what they had discovered so far and their plan to explore the depths of the dungeons that night. Rajveer listened intently, nodding in agreement. He was impressed with his cadets. The young rebels they once were had grown into strategic thinkers, resembling trained army officers. He couldn't help but feel proud of them.

A knock on the door startled them all. Rajveer gestured for them to act normal as Alekh went to answer it. Opening the door, Alekh found a servant standing there. "Yes?"

"Your highness has specially invited Captain Rajveer and his soon-to-be bride to dine with him and the crown prince tonight," the servant informed.

"Oh. Okay. I'll let them know."
